Ashes to Acclaim: Revenge Of The Forgotten Heir Fifty One
The drive to summer estate where Jake lived wasn't supposed to be a long one. But the cold and frightful atmosphere in the car made it a long one. An air of uncertainty and dread hung in the air. Even the driver was scared of facing Grandfather Ashley. No one dared stare or even get a glimpse of his face in his anger. The car pulled to a halt and the driver hurriedly opened the door for the angry man. He stepped out and stomped his walking stick so hard on the floor that the driver felt it would break. Grandfather Ashley walked straight to the door and rang the doorbell after which, the door was opened and he was ushered into the house. From where he stood at the balcony, Jake saw his grandfather's car drive in and also noticed the fury with which the old man stepped down. He knew what was coming and he braced himself up for it. Even while they were still at the public gallery, Jake didn't miss the shock on his grandfather's face when he introduced himself as a representative of the

Grandfather Ashley looked at him and said nothing. After some time, he finally said,“Get out of my sight!”“Grandfather, how much of a rebel was my mother, tell me. I want to know.”“Your mother is the first and only problem this family ever had! If only your father listened and didn't marry her, we would not have such issues. Now, I'm asking you to marry who's right for you and you want to disobey that. Never! It must be the Grant family and that's final!”With that, grandfather turned and took his leave, leaving Jake to ponder on his words. His grandfather just said his mother was the first problem the family had. How? And how did his father's marriage become a problem? Did his father reject an arranged marriage too? It also seemed to him that his grandfather had a deep hatred for his mother. This was evident in the way he frowned and gritted his teeth when he was talking about her. Jake promised himself that he would get to the root of the matter. “Once I'm done with some people

A man whom she recognised as her ex husband, Jake Frederick came down from the car. She was extremely surprised and even more surprised when she saw him inside the restaurant. How did he make it inside the area reserved for only those with a silver membership card?“Whose car is that and how did you get in here?” she asked as soon as he got to her table. “You have forgotten so soon that I used to drive you to this place and come in to take your bags. The men at the door recognised me and knowing you were inside here, they let me in. And about the car, I work as a driver for a rich man. He's in a meeting with a few clients so I took the chance to come here when you sent for me.”Sky was somewhat satisfied. She looked at his clothes once more and before she could say another word, he interrupted,“And the clothes, I managed to squeeze out a few bucks from Kent group, my new company to get the fake edition of the clothes. You know, I drive a rich man and I have to look presentable.”At

Aidan rambled on and on about his achievements and how much power he has. His classmates sang his praises to no small measure and that pleased him too. Jake on his own kept quiet and waited for Aidan to do as he has promised. The days passed by uneventful and the D-day came for the opening of the boutique. Jake dressed smartly although his outfit worth only a few dollars. He had his driver take him to the venue. When they were a few metres away, Jake made sure the coast was clear before he alighted from the Lamborghini that brought him to the place. As he got to the place, he saw that most of his classmates were already seated and those who came in came in style. They wore rich clothes as no one wanted to be looked down on. Jake could swear that some of them had even gone to borrow money and cars just to look up to standard. He smiled at their stupidity. They will of course look down on him today, because he was wearing a clean but cheap outfit. But their comments would not get to hi

“Hello dad,” Aidan intoned. When Valentino heard that his son wanted to take his classmates to Western Manor just to boost his ego, he readily agreed. He too was a braggard and always liked to show off and blow his own trumpet. He assured him of his support and even promised to give him extra ten thousand dollars to support him. He wanted his son to make a name and prove to others that he was richer than them and must command their respect. “Let's go,” Aidan announced excitedly as soon as he hung up. “Wow! Are we really going to Western Manor?” an astonished classmate couldn't help but voice out his opinion.“Of course. Not only that, we will have some snacks over there,” Aidan promised. “Aidan is so generous!”They all filed out of the restaurant and got ready to go. Kelly, Aidan's girlfriend looked at Jake with disdain and said,“Why is he coming with us? Do we now allow low lives some luxury?”Kelly was Aidan's girlfriend so she got as much respect as Aidan. No one wanted to di

Aidan and his classmates hit the road and drove at full speed until they got to the gates of Western Manor. The gates were magnificent and had a golden description inscribed on it. The words Western Manor were boldly carved on it. The gates alone spoke volumes and the poor and middle class knew better than to come near the gates. Aidan honked his horn and introduced himself. At the mention of the name, Oscar Valentino, the gates were opened and Aidan and his friends were granted access into the place. They parked their cars in the parking lot and alighted. They were all amazed at the beauty of the place. It had breathtaking views, exceptional dining and the services offered were unparalleled. Further down, there existed crystal clear waters with white sand beaches. The beach offered a panoramic view of the surrounding ocean and there was a private yacht for sunset cruises. The beauty of the place was beyond their expectations. “Wow! This place is so lovely!”Meanwhile, at the entranc

Jake counted out twenty thousand dollars and handed it over to the man. Aidan watched in shock as Jake did that. The money was checked and Jake was given a receipt of payment. The gates were thrown open and they were allowed to enter the place. “Jake? I know you to be a broke fellow. Have you turned into a thief too? How did you afford so much money?” Clinton was the first to speak after he recovered from his initial shock. Jake ignored him and said to Aidan,“I have made the payment. I should have your wristwatch now.”Aidan was bitter and he felt very bad about it. He didn't want to give away his expensive wristwatch but his classmates were there and he didn't want to be a person who failed in his own part of a deal. “Yes, tell us. How did you get such a huge sum?” another joined in. “I've worked so hard all my life so I can afford to pay the entry fees now.”Aidan took off his watch and said,“I will never go back on my words. Here, have the wristwatch.”To everyone who was ther
